Does that question sound familiar? It should of course as that is the same question that some demons asked a certain group of men trying to copy the Apostle Paul. The story is found in the book of Acts, chapter 19, of which a group of them, seven to be exact, decided they were going to cast some devils out of a person. It must of been a big devil because the man in whom it resided jumped on all seven of them and they ended up streaking back to town! This story tells me some things, first of all, it tells me that in order to apply what one hears from the pulpit requires more than getting the formula right, you've got to know the Author of the message. And secondly, you can't depend upon another person's position with the Author, you better be positioned rightly with Him yourself. And lastly, your position with Him is apparently well known in the Kingdom of darkness, as witnessed by the response of the demon who said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, But who are you?" What the brothers did in their attempt to cast out the evil spirit added up to them basically telling the devil to shoo. And the demon in response said, "We know who Jesus is and who Paul is, But who in hell are you?" You see in Washington, friends of the President are known by everybody, you know who gets face time with him. Its the same in God's Kingdom, friends with the King of Kings are well known not only in Heaven, but also in Hell! That is why when these men attempted to cast the demon out, the demon called their bluff. There is a separation coming to the church in the last days, between the haves and have nots. I'm not talking about those who preach prosperity as something obtained by the super faithful, leave that garbage to the prosperity windbags who choose to base their entire ministry on taking Scriptures out of context for selfish gain. I'm talking about those who will either have the goods, or not have the goods when it comes to Spiritual authority. Its exciting to see world events happening at an accelerated rate, showing that we are entering or have entered the last days. At the same time there is a shifting taking place in the body of Christ as a renewed hunger for Him takes hold of His church, and as foretold in the Scriptures, there will be a falling away, and a chasing after teachers who only teach a soothing, ear tickling message. So I have to ask you and it begs an answer... Who in Hell are you? And that my friends is the reality of it! Monday, October 09, 2006

i had to read this one twice, but i get what you are saying...there are so many messages out there and i know what you mean about the ear ticklers! they are so pathetic! we could sure ask some of them who in hell they are! and they sure have a huge following! i could name several but won't...it's pretty obvious who they are!
I was trying to convey that true followers of Christ are known in the kingdom of darkness, such as the story with the demon questioning who those seven men were, since they had not heard of them previously. I want to be known in Hell, that tells me that my walk with God is making an impact and worries the devil!
i get it! we should bone up on the Word, because that is our defense! then we can know (and all can know) who in hell we are!!!! sometimes it takes stuff a while to soak into my thick head!!!! sorry!!
